Realistic or Modern Age of Vikings (Always Accepting!)

She glared down at him, "I don't care if you're an Earl or not" Her hands fell to her sides as she thought about that day, "and so I am nothing?" Her fists tensed, and her temper boiled, "if you had said something..." she turned as tears welled in her eyes, "I thought I would never see you again" she mumbled as she warmed by the fire.

"I thought you'd look down upon me because I wasn't as powerful as Agnar." Magnus said solemnly, still looking directly at Astrid as her brown eyes welled with tears. He didn't want to hurt her. He still loved her with a burning passion. "I just thought you'd be happier with Agnar." He sighed, drumming his fingers against the armrest of his chair.


@Sharkiee

 

[Sharkiee]

He was wrong, she wasn't anything with Agnar, he had run off to war as soon as she had made her mind up. "So you ran away to find someone else" she hissed still staring into the fire, her heart hurt when she spoke, she didn't want him to find someone, she wanted him. She spoke quietly, "I could never look down on you".

[Ms. Sparrow]

Azura remained silent for a minute at his question. No she wasn't alright, she used to be better then the person she had become but Azura answered softly wit "I'm fine." Azura paused before asking in a serious manner "Do you think Agnar will pursue us? That is if he's smart enough to know what we're about to do." Azura said, turning around and looking at him.

 

[John Raptorfist]

Magnus winced as he stood, clutching his cracked rib. Astrid was beautiful outlined by the fire like that. Almost like a halo of sorts radiated around the woman. Wobbling over to her, Magnus held out a hand and touched her face, holding Astrid's chin and gently turned her towards him. It was very quiet, Magnus had said he wanted to be alone, and the people obliged. Magus could tell that she was hurt by look in her deep brown eyes. "I wanted you, Astrid..." Magnus spoke softly before leaning in to kiss her, not caring if she was angry at him or not.

Aron finally took his arm from around the wooden pole in the center of the ship, wandering up to the front of it as he stared at the ocean. "Well, he never saw where we went whenwe left the battle, and he may not even notice a missing ship. Might assume it lost in the conflict.." He trailed off, glancing behind him where Norway was once in the distance, but now only showed sea for miles. "Even if he does, a whole army takes longer to move than a single ship. He would need Thor blowing his sails until they nearly ripped to catch up to us." He said this with a chuckle, glancing back down to her. "We have plenty of time, no one knows where we are."

<p>She closed her eyes as she felt his lips on hers, all the tension from her body left, a sudden wave of relief replacing it. She pulled away from, slapping him on the cheek, "don't ever leave me again" she growled, her eyes locked with his as they stood in silence, the crackling from the fire being all that was heard. </p>

The moment was broken abruptly by the crack of a slap and pain shooting up Magnus's face. This time, he cursed quite loudly, it has where he got hit by the edge of a shield anyway. Rubbing the slapmark Magnus soon realized he had probably deserved that. For leaving unannounced and all. Despite it all Magnus felt a little smile creep onto his lips as Astrid spoke. "Does that mean your staying here?" He asked, half joking.


@Sharkiee

 

[Ms. Sparrow]

Azura nodded in agreement "Besides, his army needs to recover, he wouldn't think twice of going after two harmless people" Azura mocked with a grin, glancing back at the water in thought of watching Astrid and Agnar die, putting her in a pleasing mood.

 

[Sharkiee]

Astrid looked back at the fire, "I don't think Agnar would be so welcoming if I were to return" she teased, "but if I'm not wanted here, I'll just need a horse this time" she shrugged "maybe a moment to get clean too", shifting to look back at Magnus, a smile playing on her lips.


@John Raptorfist

 

[John Raptorfist]

<p>Magnus waved his hand, chuckling. "No need." He turned his gaze to Astrid. "You will always be welcome wherever I am." He said softly, now leaning against a great pine support beam that held up the roof of the longhouse. "Do you love him?" He asked suddenly, looking at his feet. "I know you chose him, but do you really <em>love </em>him."</p>

[Sharkiee]

She watched him, thinking about what he had asked. "Not like I do with you" she spoke nervously, she collected her hair to one side, playing with the strands. "You have so much passion in what you do, it's hard not to feel this way" she admitted, moving closer to him, "why do you care? I have chosen you now" she huffed.


@John Raptorfist

 

[northguy]

Aron finally sat back down at the other end of the ship, leaning against one of his large brown sacks which carried their supplies. He grabbed a small glass bottle and uncorked it, the vodka inside giving off a deep aroma. He brought the liquor up to his lips and took a swig of it, before resting it back on his side. "I ever mention you're beautiful?" He finished with a chuckle, bringing the drink back up once more. Maybe he could find this relaxing.


@DarknessSpirit

 

[John Raptorfist]

Magnus felt a smile tug at the corner of his lips as Astrid spoke. She had chose him! Magnus the drunk! Emotions began to well up inside the man. Had the gods finally decided to smile upon him and send him this most gracious of blessings. "I-I don't know." He stuttered. "I just really needed you, Astrid. I feel as though a chunk of me that has been missing for years just returned with what you said. I'm beginning to feel whole again..." Magnus said suddenly.n


@Sharkiee

 

[Sharkiee]

Everything felt whole, reaching forward she cupped his face, running her thumb over his cheek, "I understand" she spoke quietly, her eyes moving from his eyes too his lips, she paid no mind to the cuts and bruises that scattered around his face, she wanted him how he was, dents and all.


@John Raptorfist

 

[John Raptorfist]

Magnus looked into Astrid's brown eyes as she touched his face. She was so incredibly beautiful, he thought. Now, they'd be together until they were old, that is as long as Magnus didn't screw up...or die. He shook the thoughts away, letting himself get lost in her eyes. The swede said nothing as he leaned in for another kiss, this one deeper and more passionate. Hey felt Astrid's lips on his as they did, her warmth on his body.


@Sharkiee

 

[Ms. Sparrow]

Azura chuckled at his compliment "Nope, but others have." She walked over and swiped up the vodka bottle, taking a large sip from the bottle she grinned at him "My turn" she said cockily, swinging and spinning around the wood pole, nearly sloshing the vodka out of the bottle, since she was quite the lightweight of a drinker, she grinned at him, taking another sip of the bottle.

 

[northguy]

Aron let his head lean back on the wooden hull of the ship, the vodka being taken from his hand. He watched as she swung around the pole, Aron's brow slowly perking up at her. "Sure you want to be doing that when you're drinking?" He grinned, resting a hand over his torso as he watched on, "Think you might want to sit down, before ya fall off."


@DarknessSpirit

 

[Sharkiee]

Astrid welcomed the kiss, tilting her head to deepen it, she felt safe and warm finally in the arms of Magnus. Pulling back she stared into his icy eyes, "I need to get clean, you have no idea the shit I had to go through to get here" she pouted, her hair and dress had collected grass and mud as she trudged through the country side. "Maybe a change of dress" she muttered as she finally glanced down at the state of her.


@John Raptorfist

 

[John Raptorfist]

After Astrid hadn pulled away, he motioned to a room on the left side of a hallway that lead away from the main room. "There should be some clothes in there." He stated, also taking notice to the woman's bedraggled appearance. "I'll be here, soaking in my own blood." Magnus said jokingly, sitting back down.


@Sharkiee

 

[Ms. Sparrow]

Azura scowled at him "Don't be an Agnar" she said with a grin, referring to the one time he cut her off from drinking. Azura took another large sip, slightly buzzed now. But she did sit down near Aron, she couldn't help but feel excited she was going home.

 

[northguy]

Aron reached over to get his own sip of the vodka, grinning at her, "As long as I get drunk, too." He spoke, noting she already was becoming so from the heavy alcohol. He took a swig afterward, looking at her with an arched eye brow, "There's going to be a war coming Azura. Where do you plan on being?" He said as he offered the drink back over, his hand resting on her shoulder.


@DarknessSpirit

 

[Sharkiee]

Astrid let out a chuckle as she looked him over, "you could always join me" she teased. Once he was seated she took her leave. A slave had already prepared a bucket for her to wash with, she thanked the dark haired slave as she left Astrid alone. Carefully she removed the dress, her ribs were bruised from Azura. She winced as she dabbed the cloth on the bruises, it made her sad that Azura had to be so harsh.

 

[John Raptorfist]

Magnus, lustful as ever, even when injured, got to his feet once more when Astrid said he could join her. The man winced and Mangaed to stiffly walk over to the room in which she was. Opening the door, causing it to make a creaking noise. Magnus simply gawked at Astrid's nude form for what seemed like minutes before finally taking a step inside. There was nothing to be ashamed about anymore, she wanted him just as much a he wanted her. Coming up from behind Magnus gently wrapped his arms around her. "Ribs? You and me both." He commented when seeing the black-blue bruise on her side.


@Sharkiee

 

[Ms. Sparrow]

Azura grinned as he took the vodka bottle from her loose hands. Azura frowned, looking up in thought at his question, she thought of the people that would probably die in this war she was about the bring. Astrid especially. The thought of Astrid made her mad, the fact that Astrid had called her a slave had completely blown Azura's small hint of trust away. Azura sighed before replying "I don't know yet. I'm not one to risk my life for a cause." Azura said in all seriousness, her face burrowed as if still thinking.
